Answer by DrLact: About UNII-66974FR9Q1 usage in lactation

Adverse reactions such as vomiting, excessive intestinal gas and falling asleep at the breast have been reported in breastfed infants whose mothers were taking oral UNII-66974FR9Q1. Milk concentrations are not sufficient to induce "gray baby" syndrome, but since UNII-66974FR9Q1-induced aplastic anemia is not dose-related, this might occur, but has not been reported. An alternate drug is preferred to UNII-66974FR9Q1 during breastfeeding, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. If the mother must receive UNII-66974FR9Q1 during nursing, monitor the infant for gastrointestinal disturbances and adequacy of nursing. Monitoring of the infant's complete blood count and differential is advisable. In some cases, discontinuation of breastfeeding might be preferred.

Vomiting occurred after feeding in 10%, 25%, and 90% of infants with daily maternal dosages of 1, 2 and 3 grams, respectively.
